This unit is designed to address the failure and damage of materials and structures due to fatigue and cracking, and relevant methods used to prevent such failures. The unit covers topics including stress concentration due to crack-like defects; fatigue and stress corrosion cracking; fatigue and cracking due to welding; fracture control and prevention. In addition, the unit covers design standards such as ASTM and relevant design equations, and materials selection to avoid fatigue and cracking. -- Course Website
